Windshield Wipers
To turn on the wipers, press the wiper control lever down
one level for intermittent, two levels for low, or three levels for
high speed. Return the lever to the “OFF” position to stop
the wipers. For a single wipe move the lever up. To spray
washer fluid, pull and hold the lever toward you.
To operate the rear wiper, rotate the end of the knob upward
to the intermittent, continuous, or wash position. When the
rear wiper is off, rotate the knob downward to wash and
wipe the rear window.
Daytime Running Lights
Daytime running lights are standard on your vehicle. Only a
reduced brightness high beam will be automatically turned
on when the engine has started and the parking brake is
fully released or the light switch is in the “OFF” or “
”
position. The brightness of the illumination of the high beam
headlights is reduced by the daytime running light system.
You must always switch on your headlights when it’s dark
outside by turning the light switch to the
position.
